At China Light Festival, we don’t just create light displays—we translate centuries of myth into unforgettable moments. Our immersive exhibitions draw inspiration from global mythology, spanning ancient China, the Middle East, Europe, Scandinavia, and biblical tales. Each lantern set becomes a celebration of culture, creativity, and craftsmanship. You can be assured that with a China Light Festival event, mythical lantern worlds will unfold before your eyes.
Noah’s Ark (Biblical Legend)
One of our most iconic installations, the illuminated Noah’s Ark transforms zoo grounds into a luminous tableau of animals boarding a grand wooden vessel. This timeless narrative symbolizes harmony and survival—brought to life with intricate sculpting and warm, evocative lighting.
Tales of One Thousand and One Nights (Arabian Nights)
Rich in color and layered with detail, this lantern series brings characters from the famed Arabic tales to life. Flowing robes, desert palaces, and glowing lamps recreate the world of Scheherazade—inviting guests into stories of mystery, romance, and wisdom.
Northern Legends: Werewolves, Trolls & Dwarves
Rooted in Northern and Central European folklore, our lantern displays include howling wolves, shadowy trolls, and spirited dwarves. This tableau draws from Northern and Central European folklore, evoking creatures of the deep woods and long nights: wolves that guard ancient secrets, shape shifters cloaked in moonlight, and monstrous beings that test the boundaries of man and myth.
Chinese Mythology: Heavenly Dragon & the Divine Beast Hǒu
Inspired by ancient Chinese legends, these installations feature the soaring Heavenly Dragon and mythical guardian creatures such as Hǒu. Each piece is built with vibrant colors, fluid forms, and reverence for traditional storytelling—bringing the grandeur of classical mythology to modern audiences.
Crafting Culture with Custom Capability
Every lantern we create is rooted in research and artistic intent. Whether referencing texts like the Shan Hai Jing or incorporating region-specific folklore, our designs are carefully developed for cultural accuracy and visual impact. Through modern materials and traditional techniques, our teams sculpt each piece to honor the spirit of the myth it represents.
Our collaborations with zoos, botanical gardens and museums, ensure each exhibition is tailored to its location—both thematically and spatially. From Arabian nights to Norse legends, we work closely with partners to bring their storytelling goals to life through light.
A Shared Experience in Every Light
Whether you’re visiting one of our festivals or planning to host one, China Light Festival offers a meaningful and memorable experience. Each exhibition is designed to engage families, inspire curiosity, and spark a sense of wonder in guests of all ages.
